Inclusion Criteria

1. Subjects will be males or females between 18 - 65 years of age.
2. Patient subjects will have a definite diagnosis by DSM-IV criteria, schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, or bipolar disorder.
3. Patient subjects are currently under treatment with any antipsychotic, any mood stabilizer, any antidepressant or any combination of the above at the therapeutic dose for at least 3 months.
